Ermmmm I'll save my reply towards this for the phone other wise I'll be in trouble again. . .

Your needs with PVC and Thin knife cuts won't be too much of a problem really. There'll be hardly any loss of vacuum so won't need high Vacuum.
I've had involvement in a much larger machine that cuts rubber sheet for inflatable products, Life Boats, air bags etc using such system that just uses industrial Vacuum cleaners for hold down. (Like Henry's) and it works fine.

It can be that easy you just push Go and won't need to cost the earth. But it can be just has easy to buy the wrong stuff and make life harder or more costly than needed so do ring me for chat before buying or commiting to any thing.
